Decisions, decisions

averygoodun42Really exciting decisions, too, like, do I start my homework with catching up or on my paper that's due in five weeks. Do I rejoin BJs or go back to Costco? Do I dare go for a walk in the beautiful weather and risk aggravating my stupid leg or not?
And these oh-so-exciting options are why I'm on here, of course. Because the answer to all of them is "Don' wanna."
However. There are good things. Like, Page is at school, only twenty minutes late. Despite us forgetting to set the alarm (and with daylight savings time having just gone into effect yesterday...)
Like the pate* I made the other day being really quite tolerable now that it's mellowed and cooled. Almost good, even. (*I used bison liver instead of veal, and beef bone marrow instead of butter. I also only used about 3/4 lb bacon, though twice as many onions. And I added mushrooms. And more than a pinch of salt. Oh, hell, I barely used that recipe at all, as mine was completely dairy-free.)
Like the sun being out, shining on all the melting snow.
Like the blossom of my newly transplanted cactus orchid. It should be fully open in the next couple of days. I wasn't expecting it to bloom until next year at the earliest. (My Kalenchoe is still blooming, too!)
Like heating pads and pain killers.
Like cool drawings of food vacuoules by my son. And non-anatomically correct "enzymes in the plasma membrane."
Like tea. Even if it does make me belch like an ogre.
Like the internet that makes looking at incredible pictures of incredible things, and learning all the sorts of stuff that's now possible easy.
Like spring break.
These are all Good Things.
ETA: Oh, and it seems I'm not alone in my attitude today! Daylight savings time's first Monday is generally a bad day, it seems:
Increased sleepiness on the first Monday after switching to daylight saving time leads to a "dramatic increase in cyberloafing behavior" (i.e. surfing the Web when you should be getting work done), at least in Singapore, according to a 2012 study in the Journal of Applied Psychology.
